An animal sanctuary in Tennessee, known as @thegentlebarn on TikTok, recently rescued a sweet sheep named Casper and his nine brothers from the brink of slaughter.
These rescued sheep, like any animals who have experienced trauma, require time and care to adjust and heal.

While unconventional, these methods have proven to be incredibly effective. Just witness the heartwarming sight of Casper learning to play with a ball.
Watching Casper in action is truly precious! With each playful bounce, he showcases his potential to become an expert ball player. It’s evident that this sheep is having a blast, and it’s a well-deserved joy after enduring a traumatic early life.
The Gentle Barn has expressed that Casper is the first of the siblings to trust them, and their hope is that he will lead the way for his brothers to join in the ball games. Such a dream scenario!
@thegentlebarn When he rolls it back at the end 🥹 Casper and his 9 brothers were headed to slaughter, but we brought them home to our Tennessee animal sanctuary instead. Having recently been separated from their moms, it took a while to heal their hearts and earn their trust. But through reading to them, singing to them, and spending quiet time with them, they finally allowed us to become part of their family. Casper and his brothers will get the love and care that all animals deserve for the rest of their lives ❤️ #sheepoftiktok #rescuesheep #farmanimalsanctuary ♬ original sound – The Gentle Barn | Sanctuary
